Playbond Safer Surfacing
PlayBond is an environmentally friendly safer surfacing – as it is manufactured from recycled, shredded forklift tyres. The loose rubber is mixed with a binder onsite, and this is laid as a ‘solid’ yet bouncy surface.
PlayBond is also suitable for installation in landscaping areas – such as pathways, seating areas, etc.
We can also install PlayBond over existing rubber tiles, artificial grass and Wetpour – thus saving the need and cost to remove and dispose of these surfacings. Please refer to some of the photos in this section to see how this lookes before and after.
PlayBond is suitable for installation in the school environment, as well as caravan parks, open play areas, etc.
Please note – the edges of a PlayBond safer surface can (in some instances) ‘shrink’ away from the perimeter of the surfacing area – this can happen when the resin dries and the rubber ‘tightens’ slightly. In most cases, this occurs naturally and is not a issue with the product/installation.
Please note – over time the colour coated rubber will expose the inner tyre rubber, due to wear from general use and UV degredation. If this is not re-coated as part of a maintenance program, then the Carbon Black within the original recycled tyre may leave black carbon marks on users. For this reason, we do not recommend this product be laid in areas intended for use by toddlers and young children who may crawl/sit on the surface.
Dis-colouration and colour degredation of the rubber are NOT covered within the warranty given on PlayBond.
Minor dislodging of rubber shred or ‘fretting’ of the surface is quite normal, and any loose rubber shred will generally just sit amongst the bonded material, adding to the natural effect.
Note – PlayBond needs 3 full days to cure post-installation and the area should ideally not be used until the PlayBond is fully cured.
